On Thursday, its collection went upwards again due to Christmas holiday.

"PK" has collected ₹95.41 crore in the first weekend and ₹87.68 on the weekdays. It has raked in a total of ₹183.09 crore nett at the Indian box office in the first week. However, the film has failed to beat the record of Aamir Khan's "Dhoom 3", which is the all time highest grosser in first week with its collection ₹188.98 crore.

"PK", which released in over 600 cinema halls in the international markets, has set new records in foreign contries such as North America (₹38.16 crore), UK (₹11.14 crore) and Australia (₹6.61 crore). The film has collected ₹85 crore (USD13.36 Million) at the overseas box office in the first week and become the sixth highest earner of all time in in the international markets.
